This is the must stop restaurant in Bruges

Tasty brunch! - Edit
We went out for brunch at Blackbird and it was a delight! All the food was very tasty, the interior is very cosy and the staff was very friendly. A reservation is definitely recommended, a couple of groups came in that the staff had to send away because they were full up!

Fab option for brunch in Brussels. Loads of choice and the portions were generous. The shared platter was more than enough for 2 but we enjoyed the pancakes too!

Delicious food in a delightful setting - Edit
The food is incredible here. So full of flavour, with little touches that make it feel like a fine dining experience, rather than brunch. Everything that came out of the kitchen looked wonderful, and the place itself is immaculately decorated. Highly recommend a visit, although make sure you book, as they were turning people away all the time we were there.

June 2021
Had been planning to go to Blackbird for a long time, but either we couldn't or it was closed, or fully booked, and then there was a lockdown etc.
So now finally! To be sure, we made a reservation, as it is often fully booked.
Since Spring 2021, everything is vegan. Great!
We ordered some drinks (nice mocktails available), a soup of the day (3,50€) and the oven dish (moussaka that day)(16,50€) en the happiness bowl (with peanuts, avocado, lots of greens, ..) (16,50€)
The food was great. Moussaka was just the right portion. The happiness bowl was a very large portion (I couldn't finish it, my husband did).
For dessert a piece of lemon pie (from magpies). It was a huge piece, and enough for the 2 of us (makes sense at 6,50 a piece😉.
Very friendly service. Nice relaxed interior. With some outdoor tables too.
The restaurant room is at ground floor, toilet is at the back - upstairs. No accessible toilet.
We really enjoyed it, and will surely visit again! Recommended

Amazing - Edit
We came here four times during our stay and basically tried the entire menu. Great selection, really friendly host, lovely interior and atmosphere. Wish it were a restaurant in our home town. Very open towards dogs, too. Definitely worth a ( or several) visit while in Bruge, for the vegan traveler a must! If you want to go definitely reserve a table, they book out fast😄

Nice place with great food! - Edit
If you're in Bruges and you're hungry, go to Blackbird! But I recommend you make a reservation, they just barely managed to squeeze in our party of two and and during our stay a lot of potential customers tried their luck and got turned away. The avocado sandwich was great and they had really good croissants, perfect for brunch! Also the surrounding area is nice!
Read morePros: Location, Avocado sandwich, Croissant
Cons: Reservation highly recommended

Such a special place! - Edit
Ohhh my god I knew I wanted to eat here since researching our trip months ago, as its one of the only fully vegan places, and I'm SO glad we made a reservation! Definitely recommend reserving (on Google or their website, or maybe Facebook too not sure) as they were busy and not accepting anyone without a reservation. The staff are just absolutely brilliant, so friendly, and it's such a welcoming environment. It's BEAUTIFUL inside, the decor is just gorgeous. Loads of twinkly lights, candles, flowers and plants, which just creates a really lovely atmosphere. We got a bagel each and shared them (the blackbird and the pate) and each was unbelievably delicious. We got a side of tofu scramble which was tiny (it was only a side) but INCREDIBLE...I asked for tips on how to improve mine as it was soooo good! We also shared a ham and cheese croissant which was so yummy too. The bagels were outstanding though!!!!!

Great experience but book a table to be safe! - Edit
Great menu with a variety of different breakfast and lunch options. We had the avocado toast and the soup of the day and they were both very tasty and well presented. The bread is delicious, fresh and crusty on the outside.
Read moreThey don’t have many tables and seem to be very popular so book in advance if you can. The kitchen closes around 2pm, if you don’t have a reservation your best bet is to go around 1.45 to see if there are some free seats and get in last orders. Good luck!
Pros: Lovely food , Friendly staff
Cons: Very popular so reserve!
